We ran across this household chemical drop-off at North Park in Pittsburgh while out walking for a couple of miles. What you can't see is the line of a few hundred cars waiting their turn in line. Participants must register in advance, and pay a $20 fee that covers up to 10 gallons/50 pounds of automotive fluids, household cleaners, pesticides, paints, etc. per vehicle. Only three drop-offs are scheduled for Allegheny County this year, each lasting only 4 hours.
We're spoiled. Our Montgomery County Solid Waste District accepts these household chemicals and much more every Tuesday from March through October from 1-7 pm and every first Tuesday from November through February also from 1-7 pm. There are no limits that I'm aware of and best of all, it's free (I love free). More information can be found at the link below.
